    Thank you. From a dealer in New Hampshire's auction site. I couldn't pass up the envelope with contents and the Pan-American issue on cover! Love 'em!

    Thank you kacyds!
    They (just those 2) look more wrinkled than they actually are but from looking at them they appeared to have been exposed to moisture a long time ago and the glue on the flaps got activated and attached to the cover sort of askew so if I steam or gently or very carefully moisten them and separate the flaps from the cover I could press them back flat as boards again. it would be an easy procedure that would greatly improve their appearance and how they would display. Q tips or cotton balls, Zippo fluid or plain warm tap water and bingo! we'll see how they display in the sheets first though. OK Good Night it's my bed time.
